The low down on Fitbit’s latest fitness wristband

The Fitbit Charge 2 packs advanced fitness features in to a sleek and stylish band

If you’re a man living in the 21st century, you’ll doubly agree with us that wearing a chunky wristwatch isn’t exactly your go-to choice for your active needs. After all, you wouldn’t wear a Swiss-made piece when you’re out for a run or doing yoga but also you wouldn’t wear your sports looking fitness band to the office.

Which is why Fitbit got to tinkering in their workshop to give the world Fitbit Charge 2, a new heart-rate and fitness wristband that guarantees comfort and design aesthetic plus advanced fitness tracking tech go in sync together without any hiccups.

Strapping the wristband on, you’ll notice a lot of new features such as the guided breathings sessions that goes beyond fitness helping you to manage your mental health and find calm during your day. By tracking your heart rate continuously throughout workouts and while you sleep, you will also get a better understanding of your fitness level and see how you can improve over time with a personalised Cardio Fitness Score based on your personal heart rate.

But it doesn’t stop there, other features you’ll get worth noting are; all-day activity tracking so you know how many steps and calories you’ve burnt, auto-sleep tracking to see how well you slept, auto-exercise recognition for days when you forget to input your workout, but also reminders to move when you’re having a rest day and need encouragement to hit hourly step goals! All of this is packed in to a slim, stylish and comfortable design that gives you up to five days’ battery before having to charge it again! This thing sure is packing a lot of power.

But get this: the wristband’s design is so impeccable, you can even wear it when you’re not consciously being active or working out. Whether it’s a Saturday meeting with a client or date night, this wristband will score you more than just a few style points, you’ll see all your active minutes stacking up in the Fitbit App.

While you take the Fitbit Charge 2 to a meeting or date, you can swap out the classic elastomer band to stylish luxe leather bands. Plus, the Charge 2 will soon be available in a special edition gunmetal black or lavender and rose gold if you’re looking for a more premium finish and style.
